Yeah, well not MUCH faster but faster and you'll not get as many pops
up,adverts and all that BS that IE likes to load, so IN SOME CASES web
pages will load much faster.
You'll find very little spyware/malicious cookies in your web cache file
when you scan for spyware after using Firefox.

Yes, but after using Firefox for awhile and learning to customize it with
extensions, you won't want to. You can make it do most anything you want
to.

Firefox is a browser only. You can use OE or any other mail program.

Yes, because Firefox blocks popups. Also, if you install the Adblock
extension, you can block any and all ads you desire from loading, which
speeds things up even more.

Go to http://www.firefox.com You will like it very much. It runs on its
own engine, and not as part of IE, as many of the other browsers do. You may
find it to load a bit slower when you start it up. As for browsing, it is
super-deluxe. You will find that there are no popups. It is very resistive
to allow adwares, and spywares to install in to the computer.

You can set it as the default browser. I ended up using both of them,
depending on what I want to do. With Firefox, you can do almost any type of
configuration you would want from a browser. It has a very powerful setup
capability, and yet it is very easy to use and customize.

I keep reading about this browser.

I have a Dell Dim. 2400 system with XP Home.

I've been using IE.

Some basic questions:

1) If I go to Firefox, when I d/l it, can I make it my default browser but
keep IE and switch to it if needed??

Yes.

OE sucks, but yes you can.
> 3) Will pages load much faster with Firefox??

I don't know. Is that more important than flexability, configurability,
security and modern features?
